In the ladies’ at the Hotel de Crillon, Paris

26/02/2018

Before you say it, yes, I am intrigued by the conveniences in public establishments – they’re one of the key indicators to the quality of a place as far as I’m concerned.  So here is another in my occasional series of what I consider to be interesting loo interiors. This time it’s the newly refurbished Hotel de Crillon, one of the most sumptuous hotels in Paris.

That hotel has shown loyalty to its workforce which is now being amply rewarded by them.
